Cockermouth has a wide selection of shops where
you can purchase most items from everyday essentials to unique hand
crafted gifts. The majority of shops are on the three main central streets
of Main Street, Market Place & Station Street with others in the
smaller roads leading off these and also in some of the courts.
A 'Town Trail' booklet (30p) is available at the TIC and in The New
Bookshop (on Main Street opposite the junction with Station Street).
